Hi there I just went out and purcheased a Dynalink 56k pcmcia modem for my laptop and it works fine the interestering part was I had a 28.8K modem (banksia) which I didn't know if it worked or not anyway the phone lead to the dynalink is exactly the same as the banksia one hence I am going to be taking back the dynalink and now I need a lead for the banksia (it's free and the time I am going to be using it isn't much almost didn't justify the money on the other one) the plug on the pcmcia card looks a bit like 4 connecting pins only no electronics in the lead at all _____________ | |^|^|^|^| | [_____________] something like that I guess it's common because a banksia and lucent (which is the dynalink one) what's in common between those two and 4 years apart! the ^'s are connections everything else is casing I know I can get the right leas from Banksia for about $35 so the keyword is cheap here And you know if I go asking for it most computer places will go on about saying it must come from banksia etc..... oh and as a final note I am curious if anybody has got freeonline (freeonline.com.au) to work dialing in using redhat's netcfg utility basically it's a ppp dialin without a username and password I presume dns/ip's are assigned at their end Jeff -- SLUG - Sydney Linux Users Group Mailing List - http://www.slug.org.au To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the text
